Portrait of a Bead Maker

This is the oldest bead maker working for us at Acholi Beads. She is a widow and takes care of several orphans. And, you'll notice, has a beautiful smile.

Where the soul breathes

Lake Bunyoni, Uganda. Where I soaked for the last five days - in sun, water, and peace. The island on the left, if you're wondering; that's the one I stayed on.


My friends (from back to front) Gilbert, Kevin and I paddling a dugout canoe across the lake. These round-hulled beasts are near impossible to steer and will cause no end of laughter or frustration, depending on the amount of sleep you got the night before.


Taken while rowing aforementioned beastly canoes. As you can see, the efforts are worthwhile.


Me. Rope swing. Bushara Island.


My good friend Kevin doing some sort of aerial maneuver off the swimming dock on our island.


Backflip. Same dock.


Sunrise. In the foreground is the roof of our room - a "geodome" according to Byoona Amagara. In the middle, a dugout canoe makes the morning commute.
